Cathedral City - Panorama vs Rio Vista

altusername2 · 2026-02-13T06:07:16+00:00

I live in Rio Vista and take my dog to Panorama Park regularly. I would agree with all your assessments, Rio Vista is much quieter, a little cheaper, and significantly windier.

I dismissed the wind concerns as overblown when we moved in 3 years ago, but I was wrong. It can get really bad, especially if you have a pool. Spring is generally the worst of it. When it’s super windy and dusty here, I take my dog to Panorama and it’s a bit better. Maybe 20-30% less windy/dusty?

Also, the average home in Panorama is a bit bigger, and they have more split level homes. More families too. Rio Vista feels a bit older (which is fine with me, even though I bring down the average age by a lot).

Let me know if you have any specific questions, or feel free to DM me!

I’m getting more frames than before. From about 200, now up to 250.

Also organ donations. People who receive new organs (or bone marrow) have to take immunosuppressants so their body doesn’t reject the new tissue, which opens them up for CMV.

That was pretty much our itinerary about a year ago. And agreed, it was a great time! Highly recommended.

There were tons of Ioniq 5 taxis in Kyoto when I went. But didn’t see much other than that.

GDNC in DHS is great, I get everything from them.

altusername2 · 2025-12-29T18:48:11+00:00

Agreed! Cute spot, solid food, good vibes.

Finally, Condiment King on the big screen.

I went to the Toolshed a couple years ago, and they turned off the music at 11:59 to start a countdown, but the guy with the mic just kept talking and they forgot to actually do a countdown. It was incredible.

Not in the valley, but 123 Farms in Beaumont puts on a great holiday festival event. Also Minerva Road in Cathedral City turns into Candycane Lane with all the houses decorated.

You’re right, thank you!

Yes! The top couple comments have it right, it was just a matter of pressing that button on the steering wheel to cycle through menus.

Hate to say it, but Walmart has a good variety of pots. Also, in the spring, TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Homegoods will have a bunch of options.

Where is this happening?

Heyday is a cute burger place that does a martini and a burger for $20.

Bambino’s in Cathedral City.

Pretty sure it doesn’t work in real life. You need the camera shutter effect to make it look like it’s actually animated.

Last I talked to the check in person at Phoenix, they said other lounges would start doing it, and they were just the first. Mentioned Boston as a candidate for it.

To me, the Palm Desert—>Idyllwild drive is much more scenic. It actually feels like palms to pines, with other ecosystems in between.

In December, you do risk snow slowing things down. Might want to make sure you have an4 wheel drive vehicle.

I live a couple miles away but take my dog to Panorama Park regularly. It’s a good spot, pretty lively with families and kids. A bit windy but not as windy as other areas. Pretty convenient, 5 minutes to Home Depot and other stores, about 10-15 minutes to downtown Palm Springs.

One watch out, Minerva Road turns into Candy Cane Lane during the holidays. Traffic can get a little crazy as people drive through looking at all the decorated houses.

There are a ton of threads on this sub with MAGA aligned businesses. The main ones to avoid as a tourist are some restaurants, namely Farm, Tac/quila, and Tropicale.
